Removing dirty from clothes is obtained through a mechanical and chemical action.

The solenoid valve fills water in the tub, where the soap is taken and then goes to the inside of the tub. The

correct level is determined by one or more pressure switches.

The fabrics loaded into the appliance are kept in continuous movement by the drum rotation.

The dirty particles, separated from the fabrics fibres by the soap chemical action and by the temperature are

removed by the water flux through the fibres themselves.

This action is obtained by continuous immersions and agitations of the fabrics to be washed in a lye bath.

The heating element is powered till the reaching of the prefixed temperature, which is controlled by

thermostats or sensors.

Once the washing is completed, the dirty water is drained by the special pump.
